White House changes public voicemail to say Democrats holding government 'hostage'

[SHRED]

Is this even legal??

Upon calling the comment line Sunday morning at [phone], a woman's voice reads the following message:

"Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today because congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate,"

11. I don't get this...

This should be a Hatch Act violation as an earlier poster wrote, but how does this stop? This is the weekend, who determines this message and how do we get our representatives and senators to demand this be removed?
